Bringing you what you want with a clear objective view

Burgertime: World Tour Review

Peter Pepper is back in Burger Time World Tour a remake of the game from the eighties. You’re still a chef that is making burgers and platforming at the same time. MonkeyPaw Games has brought back a classic for a new generation. Now we also can play in local and online multi-player.

Pros:

Multi-player: Local multi-player is always a great addition to a game, then at parties and such friends and family can play a game with you on the same console. While playing with friends and family on the same couch is fun, there are times that friends or relatives live out of state and I think that is why most games these days have online multi-player. The option to play a game with people you don’t see often and being able to brag when you beat them is just great fun.

Avatar game: Any game that lets me use my avatar holds a special place in my library. While some games let you customize your character, being able to use my avatar and show off the things I have bought takes it to a whole new level.

Classic in a new coat of paint: The classic features of the original game return in this HD remake. You are still cooking your burgers while fighting evil sausages and eggs. It just brings back those memories of playing the original in the eighties.

Boss Fights: Boss fights are a little different in this game, instead of being a separate thing where you have to fight them and that is your main objective you still make burgers. You just have to watch out for a new giant enemy while cooking. I like that the main idea of the game is still your main objective instead of shifting your focus on trying to kill something.

Cons:

Ladders: There isn’t much to say about ladders except they are really hard to navigate and don’t always do what you want. You have to go all the way down the ladder or jump to get off of it and sometimes it will try stay on when you go to jump off or won’t jump when you need it to.

Repetitive: Going into the game I knew it would be a lot of the same thing over and over as it is a platformer. At least with most platformers new things are added in as you go to change things up. BT:WT is just a bunch of the same over and over with very minor changes. Hopefully if there is any DLC for the game it adds in some new things to break the monotony.

In Conclusion:

Burgertime World Tour is fun and it brings a classic game back to life, but I’m not sure everyone will enjoy it the way it has come back. It costs ten dollars and I would suggest trying it before you buy it to make sure you will enjoy it. While it was fun it might have been better suited as a five dollar game. Konami and MonkeyPaw Games brought back a classic that I did enjoy reliving and playing with friends, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
